They say if you set a role mode your children will follow but I believe my children are reading a different book. My children are walking down paths that I believed were much too treacherous then I would ever step. Maybe they are right in a way that I have not seen or can see for now, it’s just quite different then the way I have acted in front of them. It is also true that the role I have set is a bit deeper in terms of the character then the steps that can easily be seen and bits/pieces of those characteristics have seeped into my children but these (below) appear to be missing/additions. My children are great people who truly care it’s just in many different roles I have never performed.
(1) WORKING- There is no great desire to have a constant flow of independent income if it doesn’t come from the source you completely desire.
(2) GYM- They have no desire to follow my footsteps on the treadmill or even under the bench.
(3) TRADITIONAL FAITH- Observation of faith is kept hidden and there is a deeper passion to challenge then try to understand.
(4) WORDS USED- Where I have refrained from certain vernacular and harsh phrases they don’t have any of these taboos.
